The basketball skimmed past King Arthur's fingertips by mere millimeters.
It was hard to see anyone on the court lean back so far outside the three-point line.
Wang Yi had no choice. Otherwise, there was simply no way to avoid the block.
The moment the ball cleared King Arthur's fingertips, Wang Yi lost his balance and fell backward to the floor.
King Arthur's body control was exceptional as well.
Even on a block like that, he did not touch Wang Yi at all, avoiding a foul call.
The next moment, the basketball traced an incredibly high arc. Before the astonished eyes of everyone in the arena, it swished into the net!
Three-pointer! The Lakers led by one!
LeBron James exclaimed:
"Ohgod, that was too difficult."
"I never expected Wang Yi to make such a high-difficulty three-pointer with his stamina already completely drained."
"That was stunning!"
Michael Jordan also cried out in disbelief:
"Oh, unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable."
"I can't imagine how Wang Yi managed to hit such a difficult three-pointer after losing all his stamina."
"But one thing is certain: Wang Yi is playing entirely on willpower right now."
"Look at how he fell to the floor after making that shot. Look at how weak he was after his teammates pulled him up."
"Look at him bending over with his hands on his knees as he retreated to defend."
"It's obvious that his stamina is completely exhausted."
"He is playing purely on willpower!"
"What does it mean to never abandon, never give up?"
"This is what it means to never abandon, never give up!"
On the Pistons' side, King Arthur clearly had not expected Wang Yi's shot to go in. Still stunned, he quickly brought the ball across half court.
Then, using a screen, he switched Wang Yi back onto him.
